Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis, I support project managers on the work they're currently doing. This involves partaking in meetings, completing admin tasks and ensuring the efficient running of the project. In addition to this, I regularly participate in various training to develop my existing skills, as well as learning more about project management principles. Its been really good to be able to feel like I play a role in current work and projects, whilst also being able to learn and develop my skills in a new environment.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, in addition to assisting on live work under guidance, I was also given small tasks to complete by myself. I felt comfortable doing this, as I was happy and encouraged to ask questions, as well as knowing my work would be reviewed before submission. In addition, I also completed an internal project with another intern, for use within the project management department
